There was once a pretty fairy who liked to do everything the wrong way round. Every morning the fairy put trousers on her arms and jumpers on her legs. She worked hard in her break times and played when she should be working. When she was happy she said “oh no!” and when she was sad she said “great!” The fairy ate cake for her dinner and steak for her pudding. What a funny fairy!

It was the night before Christmas and everybody was very excited. Even little baby Tilly was excited and she didn’t even know what Christmas was yet! We hung the Christmas stockings up by the fire and our parents helped to put out a mince pie and a carrot. Everybody looked at their Christmas presents under the Christmas tree and tried to guess what they were. Then, our parents said it was time for bed. We were too excited for bed, but we knew we had to go to sleep or Father Christmas would never come!
